Another refresh of the Firefox 24 ESR branch for OS/2. This beta 4 is a bug fix release based on Version 24.8.1. The compiler was changed to a newer version and this improved the footprint and memory usage but requires new runtime libs. For more information check the Beta4 release page.

The development team had and still has a hard time porting the current Firefox 24 ESR to OS/2. The reasons are in the changes of the firefox code itself, the current build tools and of course bugs. Its now possible to build the browser using the fixed tools and today it was possible to create a first look alpha build after working around a bug in the watcom resource compiler. Theres a screenshot available on github.
